A NOTABLE church scandal has just been
passed upon by Philadelphia jury. For
long time there has been trouble in the
Free Will Baptist Church, Of which Rev.
Waldo Messaros is pastor. Finally, one
Mrs. Coulston, member Of the church,
accused Mr., Messaros Of improper pro-
posals and en- assault committed in her
house. An ugly story was told on Mr..
Messaroa, but the jury believed him the
victim Of a conspiracy and thought
the witnesses against him perjurers,
and they acquitted him. II Mr.. Messaros
is not crazy ho is certainly an innocent
man, and he hss not been charged with
insanity. The theory Of conspiracy is
altogether plausible; and if there was a
conspiracy it was one Of the most deyilish
OF plots. s:t

lIENMED IN BY ICE.
FIVE MEN IN GREAT DANGER
OF Perishing in Open fsonts, In Jamaica
hay, from Exposure to the Cold.
4 No Hope OF Rescue, Owing to tho
Largo Amount OF Fionting Ice.

RccKAwAY BEACH, Jan. 2.-Great fearf
are entertained horO for the safety OF five
unknown men who are out In open boats
hemmed In by Ice, In tho middle ol
Ja,naics Bay. It is almost an impossi.
billty for them to survive the exposure
much longer, and unless extricated very
soon they will be froz,n to death.
Three Of the men, who were evidently
on duck.shooting expedition, boarded
a train for Rockawsy Beach at the Aque.
duct station and rode TO Seaside station,
where they hired boat at the dock and
rowed out half way across the Bay to.
wards Rullls Bar, where the tide began to
run out, causing large quantities OF Ice to
surround them aud prevent their making
any hcadwsy.
The men Us we'll as could be seen from
shore made great efforts to got out Of their
unfortunate prsdicamsnt, bu. up to
half past 5 o'clock this evening they had
made but little headwsy and were being
carried toward the inlet by the tide. They
have already been out over four hours.
The two other men are supposed to be
from a restaurant which Ia eitusted
on an island about mile
from the beach. They we're seen from the
Seaside dock endeavoriug to reach the
beach in small rowboat but they also
got caught in the ice about 9 o'clock this
afternoon and are still unable to reach
land. l. Is feared that these two mon
will succumb to tue terrible cold to which
they are exposed. sss I,
the men at the seaside landing and
other points adj Hent to thnt portion ol
the Bay have used every effort to aid the
unfortunate men, but the large quantity oil

JAY GOULD has recently taken paw in
New York church, and tho gossips Of
the prsss are careful to note how he bears
himself in the sanctuary. 1t is told, for
example, that as an usher was passing Mr..
Gould called his attention to vacant seat
in his pew, and soon the usher placed a
lady in it. This shows what Mr.. Gould
knows about pew-holding. He should
should have spread himself out 60 as
to cover up the vacancy, and il any un-
happy stranger were shown in he should
have looked black and made the intruder
feel like one. In time Mr.. Gould may

IRON AND STEEL.
Tho Production of theso Industries for til,

Tho Production OF these Industries for til.
NJ IIL Past Year.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1.-The Bulletin OF
The american Iron and Steel association,
published to-day, contains 6 review of the
iron and STEEL industries Of the United
States during the year ending yesterday,
which showa some surprising results. 1t
says our iron and steel industries were
especially active during 1886, and this &C.
tlvity was fairly distributed throughout
the year. An improvement 10 tho condi-
ton Of most Of theae induatries had com
menced in 1885, and when the new wear
opened and the temporary discouracc q.
meus produced by tho Connellsville ssrike
had disappeared, the. csrtaiuity OF o
much more active year than 1885
had become assured. Orders becams
more abundant, and except in one or two
bfanches they have since continued to
bear most favorable relation to our pro.
ducing capacity. Our production in 1885
Of pig iron, Bessemor steel and rails, open
hearth steel, structural iron aud steel and
soue othor products has accordingly been
much larger than in 1855, and our produc.
ton Of pig iron, Ressemer steel, Besssmsr
steel rails and open hearth steel has been
much the largest in our history. We es.
innate the production Of these four leading
products in 1886 to have heen as follows,
compared with the production iu 1886:
Pig iron, S. .G00.000 gtoss tons, against A.
044 526 in 1885; Hessemer steel ingots, g
100000 gross tons, against 1,5l9,43O in
1855; HeBsemer steel rails, 100000 gross
tons, against 995, Al in 1855, and open
hearth stee), 100000 gross tons, against
1873 375 in 1885. - M
The figures Of 1856 have been estimated
with care, and we believe will be fully
verified by the of1icisl returns which are
now collecting from the manufacturers.
They are marveloua in their magnitude,
but moro marvellous still in sho wing our
progress ss iron and steel producers in
one year. Our production OF iron ore in
1856 was about 10000, 900 tons, and we
imported about l,0O0, 900 tons. Notwiih.
standing the steady increase in the de-
mand Tor iron and steel during 1856, it is
remarkable that prices advanced 30 slight.
ly. Such advance as was established
game gradually, and in some instances, as
in the case OF bar iron, too slowly to III Get
tho increased cost OF production. The
price OF nails during the year actually de.
clined, aithouy the consumption increased.
In this case the producing capacity Of the
country is much beyond its wants.

How Two Confidence Men Managed to Sell
.1o.Cent Eyeglasses for $40,
New York, Jan. la new kind Of
swindle has bean successfully and exten.
uively practiced in Delaware county, this
State, by two well dressed men OF engsg.
ing manners aud attractive appearance.
They have been travelling around, calling
at the houses Of vell-to-do persons unde.
pretenee OF making inquiries about pur.
chasing farm In tho nsighborhood. The
vista wero, in nearly every case, made
upon families somo members OF whom
we're suffering from diseases OF the eye.
This matter would seem to crop up Incl.
dentally in the course Of conversation,
when the younger would refer to his friend
as one Of the most eminont oeulists OF the
day, saying he was professor in the New
York Ego and Ear 1nGrmary, and address
him by the name OF one OF tho most dis.
tineuished Of this city's specialists.
The friends oi the sufferers were OF
course naturally anxious to have the
great man's opinion, whose digniAed de-
pertinent and Huavity Of address fully
harmoniysd with the character asoigped
hiu. He, however, manifested great
reluctance to enter into any professional
huainess, saying that he was on pleasure
trip, with no purpose beyond the pur
chase OF summer home. The eutreatiet
Of his friend eventually oyercame hif
scruples In oil cases, and he detailed tht
particulars of his sucCeeaiul treatment
which briefly comprised the use OF par
ticulsr lotion and the wearing of a epecia
